LOL in full swing with new catty

I just was dying to watercolor this beautiful little witch... so here she is in full bloom on her pumpkin and surrounded by a colorful scallop circle on a dry embossed card front... isn't she just darling?   This is my swap card for my wonderful group of ladies on Splitcoast.

And here she is with the scallop...


And the final product!!

And for my next entry.. this so reminded me of the costumes my mom made for my older sister, my younger sister and me... we won a contest in San Francisco on Halloween... I have to dig up the pic and you'll see what I mean...

  And, this is what we'd look like together... LOL!!

 Hope you like them... Sandra.

Well ladies... I had time to swap out all the beautiful cards... here they are in random order... I did closeups of the details on some of them... I love the variety we got with this swap...lots of bright cards and some more serious, but all beautiful... thanks again for participating!!

Frances Hicks  
Are these not cheery or what???  I love the variety Frances!!  The Sunny Garden papers are one of my fav's and I love what you did with it... great color combo and layout...s ame for the Play date!!  FUN FUN and those itty bitty pearls on the bottom mushroom.. too cute..

   A closeup of the bling!! I'm loving the new rhinestones and pearls... 


Sharon's cards... I didn't get the wolf one... boo hoo!!  That's ok.. I love the aging technique in all these cards and this is one of my fav color combos...

Shelley's cards ... I love the layout of the flower card.. one of my favorite stamp and DSP's... I hadn't seen the lacy ribbon.. love it.... And, how about that crock??  He was hungry!!


JoAnn's... on a more serious note, but nontheless... gorgeous!!  Love the Amour card wth the red fireworks behind the Eiffel Tower... I know it's really not fireworks... but it works for me....clever cutting along the edge of the DSP ... love it.


Susan's cards... I love the brightness of these two... very different, but both very cheery.. gotta love all our new brads!!


Close ups... 


Tina's card... suttle bling... I love this.. the empty nest... or in this case... the empty cage.. clever!!


And finally Theresa's cards... 


 Closeups... check out the top of the cage!! Bling!  and this card tucks in under the phrase which is sitting on the lovely embossed layer...

More Bling!! Rhinestones next tot he gift bag and the delicate pearls as the butterfly body....
